It sounds me very strange. I think, in the 'bridge-language' the 
expression '4441' is not clear: can mean short club or any 3-suiter as 
well, but...
expression '1444' surely means 1 spade, 4-4-4 in the other suits;
expression '4144' surely means 1 heart, 4-4-4 in the other suits;
expression '4414' surely means 1 diamond, 4-4-4 in the other suits.

I wrote, that 1S open is similar to a normal (NOT AN ABNORMAL like 
system C) strong clubs system's 1D opening bid; with club suit the 
opening bid is 2C of course (1S: diamond suit or 11-14 balanced or 11-15 
4414)
